"The defense increases the probability of winning!"
Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harris said, "This is the background of the blockbuster trade that gave up Luka Doncic and brought Anthony Davis.
"Dallas Mavericks general manager Niko Harrison explained why he gave Doncic away for Davis," ESPN reported on Tuesday (Korea time). "He said defense increases chances of a championship and believes that getting an all-defensive setter and an all-NBA player with a set of defensive minds gives us a better chance (to win). We have laid the foundation for success in both the present and the future."
A surprising trade was made around the world. Dallas' absolute ace Luca Doncic and Los Angeles Lakers' ace Anthony Davis were traded.
U.S. ESPN reported, "Dallas Doncic, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris will head to the Los Angeles Lakers. Instead, they will take Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and first-round pick. Utah jazz is included in this. They will get Jaren Hood Shiffino and two loudspeakers.
Doncic is a superstar that represents the league. He was selected as an All-NBA team and a player who will lead the NBA in the future. He is an influential player who was selected as the second most valuable player in this season's MVP race after Nikola Jokic.
In collaboration with Kyrie Irving last season, he led Dallas to the top of the West and reached the final. However, he lost to Boston in the final.
As Doncic heads to the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James and Doncic will work together. The league's best one-two punch was born when it comes to attack power.
Dallas will receive Davis. Despite his injury variables, he beat LeBron to become the ace of the Los Angeles Lakers this season. He has strong defense capabilities. He can play 20-10 every game. He is also considered the top-rated vertical defense and mismatched defense in the league. This is what Dallas paid attention to.
On the surface, Dallas seems to be doing a slightly underperforming business.
However, Dallas has paid attention to two things. First of all, Davis' defense capability. As General Manager Harris said, Davis is the best defender in the league, vying for the best defensive player award every season. However, he is not just a player with defense capability like Rudy Gobert. His offense power is improving every season. He has strong offense power both inside and outside. In other words, Dallas is expected to set up a defense system led by Davis to increase its chances of winning the championship 먹튀검증. He also owns Kyrie Irving.
For the Los Angeles Lakers, they need to prepare for the post-LeBron era. We need a superstar who can match LeBron who is about to retire. Doncic is a perfect customized card.
Doncic is 25 years old this year. Chances are high that he will dominate the league as a top superstar for at least five years from now. He is gaining strong popularity due to his warm appearance and outstanding multiplayer.
There was also a background of giving up Doncic for Dallas. This is because of Doncic's weight management issue.
ESPN reported, "Doncic has been playing in 22 games due to injury he found this season. He had a hard time in his left calf twice this season. After all, he hasn't played in games since Christmas," adding, "Doncic has had management issues. He gained weight compared to right before the season, and Dallas is analyzing Doncic's frequent injuries as lack of discipline in diet and condition."
In other words, Doncic's lack of thorough diet and daily management has increased his chances of injury, and his role as the absolute ace to lead the team will continue to decline in the end. It is also the main background of this trade.
